After refusing marriage, she was pampered by the prince who acted as a shield.

Chapter 351: Infiltrating the Western Regions

Lin Ru was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't notice a person flying in from not far away and landing in front of her: "My dear disciple."

"Master?!"

Tian Lingzi appeared out of nowhere and stood right in front of Lin Rusi.

Seeing his figure, Lin Rusi's eyes were filled with surprise and joy, and she immediately stood up: "Master, what brings you here?"

"I came here because I heard you were with that idiot. Who knows if he's been bullying you or kidnapping you?"

Tian Lingzi spoke meaningfully, his expression extremely worried.

But this "muddlehead" completely baffled Lin Rusi: "muddlehead? You're not talking about Doctor Zhang, are you?"

Tian Lingzi's expression immediately turned cold. He snorted and looked somewhat displeased.

Lin Rusi also noticed that when she mentioned Tian Lingzi earlier, Doctor Zhang looked just as unhappy.

However, Zhang had previously thought that it was because he had refused to become Tian Lingzi's disciple that he was unhappy.

But now he felt something was strange: "Master, do you know that senior?"

Judging from their posture, they must know each other.

Tian Lingzi was displeased and it took him a while to explain: "I do know that old guy, but I have some conflicts with him."

At this point, he couldn't help but snort coldly, making no attempt to hide it.

Judging from their appearance, it seemed more like they had a deep-seated grudge than just a minor conflict.

"I see. But the treatment methods of that senior are somewhat similar to those of my master. I wonder if my master could tell me about them?"

Tian Lingzi looked conflicted, and after a long while he sighed softly, "Actually, there's nothing wrong with saying this. We used to be fellow disciples."

Lin Rusi was slightly surprised, and there was some disbelief in her eyes.

Who would have thought that the two of them were once fellow disciples?

Judging from this, the two of them have quite a grudge!

However, despite thinking this way, Lin Rusi was still sensible and knew that this matter could not be investigated too deeply: "I see, then Master came to pick me up?"

"Yes, I'll take you somewhere."

Without saying where they were going, Tian Lingzi got into the carriage and drove away with Lin Rusi.

Thinking that Tian Lingzi would never harm her, Lin Rusi simply stopped asking.

She slept in the carriage for an unknown amount of time before finally opening her eyes.

When they arrived at their destination, it was Tian Lingzi who woke her up.

Lin Rusi turned her head in confusion and asked, "Master, have we arrived?"

Tian Lingzi nodded: "We've arrived. Get down!"

Lin Rusi got off the carriage and subconsciously looked around. It was an exceptionally bustling street.

But when she saw the street clearly, she was instantly stunned: "This is the Western Regions?!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she looked up in disbelief.

Tian Lingzi didn't speak, he just stared straight at her.

Looking at their clothes and words, how could Lin Rusi not see through them?

This is clearly the Western Regions!

But why did my master bring me to the Western Regions?

Suppressing her surprise, Lin Rusi lowered her voice and asked, "Master, what are we doing in the Western Regions?"

"We'll talk about this later. Let your master settle you in first. This isn't the place to talk."

Tian Lingzi glanced around warily, his voice low and deep.

Seeing this, Lin Rusi immediately understood and naturally said nothing more.

Then Tian Lingzi led Lin Rusi to open an inn. After booking two rooms, he mysteriously said, "You wait here, I'm going to buy some things."

Not knowing what he was up to, Lin Rusi could only nod and stay in the inn alone.

However, she felt a vague unease in her heart.

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Rusi asked the innkeeper for paper and pen and secretly had them sent to the Northwest.

With the two sides at war, the people were unaware of the matter and didn't think much of it, quickly sending the letter back.

The messenger was extremely fast; the letter reached Li Jingyang in less than half a day.

He gripped the envelope with his large, well-defined hands, a hint of doubt in his eyes: "What are they going to the Western Regions for?"

Hearing the voice, Ye Qing also came over: "Who went to the Western Regions, Your Highness?"

"Asi said that Tianlingzi took him to the Western Regions."

Unlike Lin Rusi, although Li Jingyang trusted Tian Lingzi, his inherent nature still made him somewhat wary.

He always felt there was something fishy about this. Tian Lingzi was always indifferent to worldly affairs, unlike that Doctor Zhang, who never cared about anything.

Why did they all take Asi to the Western Regions?

There must be something wrong here.

"Ye Qing, take two trustworthy men and send them to the Western Regions to keep an eye on Tian Lingzi. I have a feeling that there's something wrong with Tian Lingzi."

"Tian Lingzi, isn't that the Princess's master? Besides, didn't you just spar with him earlier?"

Hearing this, Ye Qing became even more puzzled.

Li Jingyang said in a low voice, "I'm afraid that he may be genuinely teaching me kung fu, but he may also genuinely have ulterior motives."

He couldn't trust anyone, especially since this matter concerned Lin Rusi, so he naturally had to be cautious.

Seeing Li Jingyang's firm stance and Ye Qing's refusal, he immediately found several trustworthy individuals to travel to the Western Regions.

……

As for Lin Rusi, by the time Tian Lingzi returned, it was already completely dark.

Upon seeing the familiar figure, she quickly knocked on Tian Lingzi's door: "Master, are you back?"

A moment later, the door was opened from the inside, and Tian Lingzi opened the door expressionlessly, letting her in.

"Come in, I have something to tell you."

Seeing his indifferent expression, Lin Rusi's eyes flickered.

Upon entering, they saw that Tian Lingzi had bought a lot of things, including some Western Region clothing, among which were two or three pieces of women's clothing, clearly for himself.

"I summoned you to the Western Regions for the sake of the people. The people of the Western Regions are currently planning something of paramount importance, and you are the only one who can break the deadlock."

Tian Lingzi spoke earnestly, but did not elaborate on the specifics of his plan.

"What else does Master know? Could you tell me in detail?"

He had just met with spies from the Western Regions in the Northwest, which was not surprising to him, as the Western Regions were unstable and making moves.

She was also puzzled as to why she had to take the lead in this matter, and why she was the one who was so crucial.

Lin Rusi was puzzled and looked over with a mixture of belief and doubt.

Tian Lingzi acted as if he hadn't heard: "My good disciple, only you can handle this matter, because your master can't get into the palace."

"The palace? What is Master going to the palace for?" Lin Rusi was even more puzzled.

“There is a person your master wants you to rescue; that person is in the royal palace in the Western Regions.”

Who is it?

Tian Lingzi suddenly became serious, turned his head, and said slowly and deliberately, "Empress of the Western Regions."

These past few days, the Western Regions have been recruiting palace maids, and now is the perfect time to select people. Lin Rusi can easily use her status as a woman to sneak in.

We can also find an opportunity to bring that person out, and then we can cooperate with him from outside the palace to get out safely.
